South Jersey/Philly Group Buy... ROUND 11!

[ferman]

As always, I'll start a new one after this one is complete.

Right on. You are the man Jeff!

 

[Martin2D]

Anyone able to hold my bags until Friday morning/afternoon in Jersey? I'll be in Camden Friday morning. If not, I'll see you Thursday night.

 

[ferman]

Martin - I can hold them if you cannot find anyone closer. I am in Williamstown and will be brewing Friday afternoon if you want to stop by and pick them up then.

 

[lordura]

Martin, if you can't make it to Williamstown, let me know. I can hold your grain in Mount Laurel.

 

[lordura]

With so many people involved this time, it would be best to try to pick up for other people. We don't want to fill the lot with cars!

 

[jblizz]

Please keep me in mind for the next buy, these group buys always seem to hide on me until it't too late lol

 

[lordura]

jblizz, since you posted in this thread, you'll be subscribed and get notifications about new posts. I will post in this thread when I start the next group buy. Should be a little over a week.

 

[ferman]

Jeff - I am picking up for Martin2D. Hope that helps.

 

[lordura]

Thanks for the heads up. How many people are you picking up for this time? Haha

 

[ferman]

Just 3 as of right now. LOL

Just a few reminders:

If you can carpool, please do! Since there is so many more people expected at pickup, we need to pay very close attention that we are not in the way of the trucks!

If you can pickup for other members, please do!

I was also thinking, anyone willing to give up a bottle or 2 of homebrew for the kind people over at NEMF? If we can get enough people to chip in, I'm sure they will be even cooler about us using their space.

See everyone on Thursday! Lets hope the weather holds out!

 

[ferman]

I don't have anything in bottles, but I would be willing to chip in for a 12 pack or something.

That would be great!

I didn't even think of that! I better start filling some kegs!

 

[OLDBREW]

I'd feel them out with the offering of alcohol to the dock/forklift drivers. If you can talk to the dock foreman, or night shift receiving/shipping supervisor, I'd approach him/her with the offerings and let the distribute it, rather then just anyone loading or unloading trucks. You could have someone lose their job if it was against policy to receive gratuities or alcoholic beverages.

 

[ferman]

+1 oldbrew

 

[lordura]

I'm going to swing by NEMF tonight to check out the parking lot. As you can guess, it would need to be plowed/dry.
Please check back here late tonight or early tomorrow morning in case we need to push the pickup back. No one wants wet grain!

Looks like we should be fine for tomorrow's pickup. Looking at weather.com now...

hey guys,
i had every intention of getting up the jersey this week but my boss's wife passed away yesterday down here and the funeral is saturday, so naturally i'm trying to avoid coming up. my grain will be picked up regardless either by rtt121 (short notice on his part, so not sure if he will have the space) or my dad will swing by to get it.

since i wouldnt physically be able to be there i was trying to see if indigi, OLDBREW and longke would mind giving me the sacks from the splits to keep it a little simpler? i've also PM'd you guys, sorry for the short notice. if not i'll work it out, thanks.

Jeff, if my father picks up the grain he will have my remaining balance for you, if rtt121 picks up for me, me and you will work something out (paypal again?) for your money.

I hope the city plows my street if a foot is really going to fall tonight. Worse comes to worse hitch the dog up with a sled.. how much is the toll headed back over the bridge for no axles?

 

[lordura]

Looks like the weather isn't going to let up.

Unfortunately, we will need to cancel our pickup for tomorrow.

I'm sorry if this causes any trouble for those of you know may have needed to make special plans to pick up. With the amount of snow that is on the ground at this time, there is no way our grain will be safe.

The first day that we will be able to arrange a new pickup day would be Wednesday, Feb. 2nd.

I will look into it further tomorrow afternoon and let everyone know a definite time.
I apologize for any inconvenience.

The lot will be covered with snow/sleet/ice during the pickup. There is no way to keep the grain from getting wet under these conditions.

Bump so everyone sees.

Lay a big tarp on the ground? LOL

 

[infection]

I hope NEMF doesn't get pissed with 2 pallets taking up room on their dock for another week....perhaps ferman's tarp idea aint so bad

 

[ferman]

I wouldn't mind shoveling a little area out of the way where we can do splits, etc.

For selfish reasons of course, I am flat out of 2-Row. Hahaha
